A must if you use a grip pen for any length of time and/or are all over the place in terms of your tablet drawing--comes with a ton of tips, from felts to plastic tips...good stuff I say.

I ordered this along with the Intuos3 6x8 tablet, and it's just great. You can see the amount of accessories it brings, so I don't even have to comment on that. But what I would say is make sure you need and are going to use all everything, otherwise it might be wiser to just buy the specific nibs when you're going to use them. However, if you have a need for them or even if you just might in the future, it's a great value, especially with the Amazon's free shipping(from Wacom you'd pay a lower price for the specific nibs but shipping would probably be more than the product). Over all, I recommend this to anyone purchasing an Intuos3.

This product is indispensible for working with the Intuos 3 pen and a Wacom tablet. It came in excellent condition. The service from Amazon was fast and the item was in excellent condition. Ben Allen, Huntington Beach, CA. 92648

After about 6 months of heavy use, the grey rubber grip on my pen ripped. Bought this set for nib flexibility and to replace the grip. The included grip does not have an opening for the rocker switch (for mouse functions) on the side of the grip. The included grey grip completely covers the rockcer switch area. Does not make sense since an extra rocker switch is included in the package. At the time I purchased, the product review was not clear that the grip did not allow for rocker switch use (the description has since been corrected). The extra nibs and nib tools are nice - but this set is not a true replacement of all parts of the OEM pen.

Item does not come with case as depicted in product photos. The replacement rubber grip is not notched for the side switch...and it comes with a replacement side switch?

I researched further at the Wacom website, and that completely matches their description: "...a rubber grip without the holes for the side switch, a spare side switch..." I wish this description was in the Amazon listing.

That the grip isn't notched isn't Amazon's fault, it's Wacom; it makes no sense, and for anyone that's dealt with Wacom for a while will agree, this is pretty par for the course with them.

Like another reviewer, I bought this because the rubber grip on my original pen became torn. But what is not immediately apparent in the product description or photo of this accessory kit is that the included rubber grip sleeve does NOT feature an opening for the rocker switch, so this sleeve disables the pen's side button functions.

There's doesn't seem to be any offering for a replacement of the original rubber grip. There is an accessory kit for the Intuos4 version of the pen, which DOES include the proper sleeve, but after zooming in on the image, it appears to be slightly different, and it's unknown if it will fit the Intuos3 pen.

The Wacom accessory kit is definitely nice to have with you, the different nibs give you varying feels with your tablet and the nib removal tool is certainly helpful in changing the nibs when you need to.

The nibs are very small and easy to loose, however, so I feel that there should be better options given by Wacom to store our nibs and pen accessories. Personally, I would like a small case with divided sections (for the different nibs, removal tool, etc) that would snap open and shut so we could store our tablet accessories and nibs in one convenient location.

I'm so glad I bought these. The different nibs make a gigantic difference, I'm particularly fond of the felt tips. Worth every penny.

One of the main features of why I purchased this was because of the black container that I saw on the thumbnails preview of this item. I believe it is falsely advertised and want a container! Nibs everywhere!

You get everything that is advertised except for the case, which is really disappointing considering it's a ton of tiny nibs that just roll around all over the place.

And the grip doesn't have the hole in the side for the rocker button, so I emailed wacom to ask about it.
They told me that they do not offer the original grip for sale but they offer 1 complimentary one to each intuos3 owner.
So if you're bummed about it not being your original grip, shoot Wacom and email :) and they should clear it up.


They told me it might take two week to deliver, I'm at just over a week now and it hasn't arrived, but I trust wacom enough.
